Facebook users poked fun at the suspected drunken driver’s situation.
“I’ve been very drunk before but never ‘drive through the police department’ drunk,” one user wrote.
Another said: “Perhaps her GPS knew she was drunk and figured it would bring her where she needed to be, rather than where she wanted to be.”
“I wish all gps would navigate drunk drivers to jail,” replied another user.
